rounded torx screw front bumper |
|
Was in the process of removing my front bumper to replace the AC condenser unit. and one of the damn T40 screws was so seized it rounded
So now I have the situation where 3 of the four screws are off, but one is now there and rounded. Obviously I can take an anglegrinder to it but where does one get replacement for these torx screws?

Hiya,
T40 torx are usually an m8 thread I think (give one of the removed a test in an m8 nut) so dependent on length and rush, flea bay or Amazon should be good. 2008 HSE Stornoway Grey

Try a straight screw driver in it before resorting to an angle grinder. .

A good soak in WD40, then use a pair of multi grips locked on tight. Depending on skill level, drill a 6 mm hole in it and use an "ezy out"

Heat it with a small blowtorch or Dremel heat torch.
